Assignment 5 .....IMED1301...8001
Basic Flash DUE: April 20, 2009 beginning of class
This week you will be using a series of short tutorials to complete and submit as activities/assignments. Save often as you work. The original authoring or working file will save as a .fla. Once the assignment is complete you will “publish” the finished pieces. When you publish you will generate 2 files: an .html and a .swf, both will need to be ftp’d in order to see the completed assignment. This will hold true for each flash piece you need to submit.
Each hyperlink connects with a helpful tutorial, so check the hyperlinks whenever you need a quick review.- Part 1
